In this sequel to Permelia Lyttle's Guide to the End of the World, Luray's wife Abigail believes the end is just around the corner. So, the resourceful heiress buys and restores an abandoned village where she hopes to create an idyllic community for surviving in style. However, the apocalypse turns out to be nothing like anyone imagined. In Dunkard Bottom, humankind's ultimate swan dive takes on new meaning as prophecies converge and dangers loom. Despite its bickering citizens, the village grows. But the community is soon simmering with romances, rivalries, distrust, and evidence of a traitor in their midst. Will Luray lose Abigail under the strain? Is Jason who he says he is? And whatever happened to Permelia Lyttle's daughter? With the digital age fizzled and the government a no-show, Dunkard Bottom is American ingenuity at its quirky best under the threat of white-collar terrorists, illness, death, and weeds.
Every year, millions of dollars and countless hours are spent in a futile search for spiritual peace and security. For many Christians, this effort is often motivated by a lack of peace in their earthly lives and a persistent insecurity with regard to their afterlife. They attend self-help seminars, which claim to provide the answers for peace in their daily lives. They search the scripture, attend church and Bible studies, and often adhere to strict doctrinal beliefs that purport to lead one to salvation. Yet so many are still filled with anxiety and doubt. However, when John the Revelator looked to the end of time through God's prophetic lens, he saw a multitude no man could count - of all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues - all rejoicing in their salvation. How could all these people, representing every part of the world through the millennia of time, have access to the knowledge of salvation? Certainly, our traditional view of how the gospel is spread could not possibly account for such diversity of peoples, geography, and ages. Just as clearly, this knowledge was not obtained through any modern invention such as the self-help movement. So, how did this multitude obtain peace and salvation?The answer is simple: "There is a spirit in man, and the breath of the Almighty gives him understanding" (Job 32:8). The Spirit Within explores this mystical statement and finds within it the secrets to peace, a spirit-filled life, and God's saving power.
A detailed study of one theological concept (divine mediation) that was central to the Christological controversy of the early fourth century. By analysing the views of three participants at the Council of Nicaea (325), Jon M. Robertson demonstrates the variety of perspectives in a way that questions popular approaches to the period that see the controversy as having only two sides. His analysis constitutes a new approach to the early Arian controversy, as well as showing the theological backdrop of Athanasius' insight on Christ as mediator. It further demonstrates the contemporary relevance of the issue by giving an Athanasian critique of the modern Christology of Roger Haight.

The city of Austin consistently leads lists of fastest-growing and most-desirable places to live—a simultaneous source of pride and anxiety for residents. In The Cost of Cool: Austin's Tech Growth and the People Left Behind, author Jon Roberts and his contributors investigate Austin's evolving identity and tackle a question posed repeatedly by community and business leaders nationally: How did Austin, Texas, become a global tech leader? More broadly, this book focuses on economic development and policy dilemmas faced by growing cities while maintaining both social equity and the elusive qualities of "place" that attract creative and innovative talent. Echoing themes raised by other urbanist scholars, Roberts and his collaborators do not shy away from the sometimes-unsavory aspects of tax incentives, environmental issues, cultural loss, and economic exclusion. While tackling the problems raised by unbridled growth, they also address concerns of younger workers who are increasingly prioritizing "place" over "job." Finally, and perhaps most importantly, The Cost of Cool emphasizes the centrality of vision: for growth (as Austin's population doubles every twenty years); for openness (often driven by the influence of the South by Southwest conference and Austin's music scene); and for the future of the tech industry (including the implications of forty years of commitment to semiconductors, software, and social media). The Cost of Cool informs the ongoing debate over how to foster economic growth without degrading the quality-of-life characteristics that help make it possible.
